On the basis of given explanation we can explain social structure in the following way : So, according to him, the structure of anything consists of relatively stable interrelationship among its parts, moreover the ‘part’ itself implies a certain degree of stability since a social system is composed of the interrelated acts of people, its structure must be sought in some degree of regularity or recurrence in these acts.’’ So, all these sociologists have included institutions, associations, groups and functional system in its study. According to him structure of any thing is the relative and permanent interrelations which exist in the different parts of that thing. Yet change comes in the parts of social structure but stability remains in them. Johnson, ‘‘Social structure is made with the mutual relations of different parts. Nadal, ‘‘We arrive at the structure of society through abstracting from the concrete population and its behaviour the pattern or network (or system) of relationship obtaining between actors in their capacity of playing roles relative to one another.’’ģ. According to him, ‘‘The components of social structure are human beings, the structure itself being an arrangement of persons in relationship institutionally defined and regulated.’’Ģ. He belongs to the structural functional school of sociology. Redcliff Brown was a famous anthropologist of England.

These units are groups, institutions, associations, organizations etc. It means they have the sense of cooperation. They cannot do anything without each other’s help. It has different units which are related with each other. ![]() Our society is the web of social relationships. In short the meaning of structure is the collection of those units or parts of society which are interrelated with each other. On contrary to this, when these different interrelated parts join each other and make a structure then this structure is known as social structure.

Society is not an unbreakable system which cannot be broken. ![]() What is social structure? Explain its meaning given by different sociologists.Īns. ![]()
